70’s Ranch Living Room Makeover

October 27, 2017

 

Hey all, as  you know we have been killing it at my friends 1970’s ranch, and today is the day for another room reveal! Today is living room reveal day! If you recall  we started with an awkward cave like space, with lots of wallpaper, paneling, and unnecessary walls.  ( Make sure you check out all the demo day details here.)
 Here is a small snapshot of the progression of the space. We tore down some walls, and made it feel a lot more open!

If you have been following along you know that we covered up all the wallpaper, and created an accent wall using faux shiplap.  (Make sure you get the full tutorial here.)

 Next up. Floors!  By adding continuous wood laminate floors through out the entire living space it created a gorgeous open concept space. We used a wood laminate and this stuff rocks! (Make sure you check out all the details here. )

Alright without further ado, I give you the 70’s Ranch Family Room/Sitting room makeover!

Doesn’t it just make your heart happy!?  I am not going to lie, the day we finished this area I just sat and admired it. I am so in love with this space! 

The white shiplap  served as a nice crisp clean canvas that served as a perfect backdrop for our custom DIY artwork. (You can check out the tutorial here.) 

We wanted to add additional seating in front of the fireplace. So we created a small sitting area to break up the space between the kitchen and the living room.

Here is the view from the kitchen looking into the living room.  P.S. If you haven’t seen the kitchen makeover yet,  you are missing out my friend.  You can get all the juicy details here. 

Don’t you just love it ?!  It seriously  has me reconsidering my design choices in my own house!

 Thanks so much for following along, and don’t forget to pin images to save them for later.

  Take Luck,

 Corey

Meet Corey

Hi everyone, my name is Corey, and I have a problem. I can’t leave well enough alone… The best therapy usually involves a variety of power tools. So, in the few “spare” moments I am not entertaining my two beautiful, rambunctious, boys, I can typically be found hunched over a sewing machine and/or covered in sawdust. All in the efforts to create a perfect balance of aesthetics and practicality in our home.

I leaned in heavily to the dark moody feel for the guest bedroom makeover and I love it! The dark sienna  hue, coupled with my @kilzbrand #accentwallchallenge is absolutely stunning. (If I do say so myself.)
I have a room tour, wall tutorial and source links on the site today. #linkinprofile #sponsored #everyprojectisworthit
@Kilzbrand presented me their #accentwallchallenge @Kilzbrand presented me their #accentwallchallenge, and you know how much I love a good challenge!
If I am being completely honest, I feel like I rocked this challenge. It is absolutely insane how a single wall can change the entire feel of a room. 

On the site I have a full tutorial on how you too can create this look and all the fun details about my choice of color from the Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines® paint line & the KILZ 3® Premium Primer

Am I the only one who tackles unnecessary projects Am I the only one who tackles unnecessary projects before entertaining guests? As I was preparing the guest room for the Holidays I had an epiphany. I had a vision of what this room could be, and I just cannot let it go - this room needs an accent wall!

I am teaming up with the great folks over at @kilzbrand to create the perfect accent wall, with a gorgeous color from the Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines® paint line & KILZ 3® Premium Primer. Stay tuned because this accent wall is going to be gorgeous. I just need to pick my accent color. What do you guys think, clay or sage?  #sponsored #kilz #GuestRoomMakeover #AccentWallChallenge #EveryProjectIsWorthIt
